PROPUSED NOVING OF PUPLS FOUGHT Burroughs Citizens Protest Plan of Board of Edu- cation. , Plans to wage a vigorous flight against a proposal of the Board of Edu- cation to ‘transfer seventh and eighth grade pupils of the John' Burroughs School to the Langdon School were made last night at a meeting of tht committee on education of the Bur: roughs Citizens’ Association. As a result of the stormy committee meeting William E. Rabenhorst, presi- dent of the association, called a special meeting for Thursday night. To Disregard Order. ‘The organization then will act on & | recommendation of the committee that parents instruct their children to dis- rd the order to go to the Langdon School. Members of the Board of Edu- cation will be invited to attend and ex- piain their position. Crowded condi- tions at the Burroughs School are sald to have precipitated the controversy. Rabenhorst declared the board’s order would work an injustice on seventh and eighth grade students residing in the Burroughs neighborhood. He added none of the pupils had been incon- venienced by the “so-called crowded conditions.” Attitude Held Unfalr. ‘The president insisted the Board of | Education was unfair in its attitude. He predicted the result of bitter opposition already apparent would be that the seventh and eighth grade students would continue to attend the Burroughs School indefinitely. Declaring the board's proposal had met with widespread opposition, Raben- horst forecast a large attendance at Thursday night's meeting. It will be held in the Burroughs School.
